Hey, I'm Ben
I work on high-performance TypeScript systems, open-source infrastructure, and libraries for building with AI.
I'm a student at BYU, where I'm majoring in CS/ML and double-minoring in Arabic + Math. I build open-source libraries, web applications, and AI tools.
Previously interned at General Translation and Vercel.
